Welcome to Dentistry for Children and Teens

Our pediatric dentists in Atlanta, Dr. Wesley Powell and Dr. Sheh, give your children more reasons to smile once again. For over 15 years, our children’s dentist and their experienced pediatric team, have been committed to providing the highest level of pediatric dentistry for infants, children and teenagers. Our pediatric dental office uses the latest technology and highest safety standards possible for your children’s specific demands.

Treating adult patients is different from treating the younger ones. We provide a child-friendly environment when coming in the clinic. In this way, your children will be more open to say what they feel, receive the right treatment, and be able to play and have fun while receiving an educational dental visit. We take pride in our wide range of services, an office with a fun atmosphere, the latest, most-advanced technology, and dental education for parents and kids.

Our office environment provides a fun atmosphere with numerous video games, toys, salt-water aquariums and an in-office movie theater for kids of all ages. We believe that a child’s visit to the dentist is not about a matter of fear, but a matter of fun. We make memories and moments with the dental treatment that will make them want to come back not only to our pediatric dental office but to the dentist for a lifetime!

Unique First Visit Experience

For a child, the dentist’s chair can be daunting. So during your first visit, you will be introduced to our pediatric dental team, given an office tour, and provided an opportunity to discuss your child’s unique smile. Depending on the age of your child, he or she will either be given a lap examination where the head will rest on our doctor’s lap with their body on your lap for the initial checkup, or they will have an exam in the regular doctor’s chair having fun exploring all of our unique tools and gadgets at the same time! Our hygienists love kids and make checkups not only fun, but educational for both the child and the parent!

Teaching Them Dental Care As Early As Childhood

First impressions last and providing a great environment when visiting the doctor must start from an early age. Seeing a dentist is common but new for your children. For the child, the pediatric dental office can be frightening and intimidating. But with our unique way of treatment and a fun soothing environment, we are giving them more reasons to come back regularly. We break the habit of ignoring a dentist’s call, and start at the early age so your children will have a great smile all their life, and want to come visit us for their dental checkups!

Dr. Powell is a pediatric dentist, specializing in the treatment and prevention of dental disease, as well as the overall oral health of children. Through extra years of schooling, training, experience, and certification, a pediatric dentist is uniquely qualified to treat the dental needs of infants, children, adolescents and those with special healthcare needs.

Sedation can range from the use of nitrous oxide to calm a patient to general anesthetics used to put patients to sleep. Patients with dental phobia, low pain tolerance, major dental treatment, physical handicaps or strong gag reflexes may require sedation. Procedures like fillings, crowns, bridges, root canals, extractions, cosmetic procedures and periodontal treatments often require sedation.

Orthodontic treatment is available to patients of all ages. In accordance with the American Association of Orthodontists, we recommend that children have their first orthodontic evaluation by the age of 7. With early evaluation and

diagnosis, children can achieve optimal orthodontic results. Early treatment provides a range of benefits and often means that a patient can avoid surgery or other serious complications.
